Butterfly Bait - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 ounces beer, regular
2 lbs dark brown sugar
2 cups molasses or 2 cups syrup
2 lbs bananas or 2 lbs peaches, well ripened

Preparation

Mix all ingredients in a large jar or crock.
Cover loosely and place in the sun. Let ferment for 1 day. Make sure cover is loose fitting as it expands with fermentation.
Store in shady area after fermenting.
Dab mixture on posts, rocks, or tree trunks with an old paint brush. Results will improve with time. Butterflies seem to find it more easily on a large rock in a flower bed.
